Line Combos: Predicting Forward Lines for 2013-2014

[God Says No]

I actually love this idea...I'll admit I would've never thought of putting Condra on the top line but it could definitely work. He's played well on a line with Greening in the past and has underrated playmaking abilities. He'd also be the defensive conscience of that line which he's proven to be good at.

I also like that Conacher is with Zbad. They've shown chemistry together before and would make a nice third line at both ends. I hope the team at least tries this line-up.

Not me. I would like at least one finisher on the line with Spezza. Greening and Condra are not.

 

[YNWA14]

Call up Hoffman and Pageau and move Greening or Michalek in a package for some defensive help.

Mike Hoffman - Jason Spezza - Mika Zibanejad/Milan Michalek
Clarke MacArthur - Kyle Turris - Bobby Ryan
Cory Conacher - Jean-Gabriel Pageau - Milan Michalek/Mika Zibanejad
Derek Grant - Zack Smith - Chris Neil

Top 3 lines looked good tonight, but Grant's wasn't as solid. For when Condra gets back (assuming Ryan is healthy) anyone else want to see:

89-19-9
16-7-6
14-93-22
57-15-25

 

[Sensinitis]

Conacher-Spezza-Michalek
MacArthur-Turris-Ryan
Greening-Smith-Neil
Zibanejad(shoots more on the left)-Grant-Condra

Methot-Karlsson
Phillips-Borowiecki
Cowen-Gryba/Corvo

I think that should be our lineup.

 

[armani]

MacArthur-Turris-Ryan
Conacher-Spezza-Michalek
Greening-Smith-Neil
Grant-Zibanejad-Condra

When Condra is back, that’s a pretty effective 3rd/4th line. It also gives Paul Maclean the opportunity to finally put Zibby on centre and let him take it as far as he can.

 

[Benjamin]

Smith - Spezza - Ryan
MacArthur - Turris - Conacher
Michalek - Zibanejad - Condra
Greening - Grant - Neil

 

[Tampacuseforever]

Smith - Spezza - Ryan
MacArthur - Turris - Conacher
Michalek - Zibanejad - Condra
Greening - Grant - Neil

I like the spreading out of the offence a bit, and Neil on the forth line.

 

[DrEasy]

Mac - Turris - Ryan
Hoffman - Spezza - Michalek
Greening - Ziba - Condra
Conacher - Smith - Neil
